Claude Opus 5.5 builds interactive 3D smelter model from drawings alone

- Users are showing off Claude Opus 5.5's 3D capabilities: one built an interactive ferronickel electric smelting furnace in Blender using only the furnace's technical drawings and a few photos, shared as a Claude artifact.
- Another demo had Opus 5.5 3D model the Transformer villain Unicron, with the verdict "it certainly is a step forward."
- Both point to the same takeaway: frontier models are getting notably better at building interactive 3D/engineering objects from limited reference material.
